Viscount Halifax to Sir N. Henderson (Berlin).

No. 83.

Viscount Halifax to Sir N. Henderson (Berlin).

(Telegraphic) Foreign Office, August 30, 1939, 2:45 p. m.

WE are considering German note * with all urgency and shall send official reply later in afternoon.

We are representing at Warsaw how vital it is to reinforce all instructions for avoidance of frontier incidents, and I would beg you to confirm similar instructions on German side.

I welcome the evidence in the exchanges of views, which are taking place, of that desire for Anglo-German understanding of which I spoke yesterday in Parliament.
